I'm sorry but for one thing it is not the only way to get to qeynos from
freeport. You can travel through the mountains. Second a little hardship
isn't going to kill you or any other newbies. If worst comes to worst just
travel through Rathe Mountains like all the evil melee class do. Newbies no
longer have to dodge griffins or hill giants because us high levels hunt
them constantly. Newbies have an easier economy to work with then we did.
Not only that but newbies also get the occasional teleport or sow. Teleport
was unheard of when we were newbies sow was as rare as teleport back then.
There are ways around it your just going to have to stick it through.
